Coral id?

[pleichnerjv]

After looking online through a few sources I think this is a gold lemnalia, is this true. I have this in a 20 gal tank that will be used for seahorses in a couple months, If this is a lemnalia I have read these are toxic to other corals, are they safe for seahorses? Thank you all!

looks like a colt or kenya. Can you get a closer pic.
what type of seahorses are you planning for a 20 gal. Please visit the seahorse forum. 20 gal is kinda small-bare min for lrg breed horses.

We are not sure what type of horses we want to have, my wife is doing a lot of research. Here is a closer pic of the coral, unfortunately he has "closed up" for the night. We want horses that are easy to care for, my wife has followed your threads in other forums so any help you may be able to give would be helpful.

This is from the compatibility chart in the seahorse forum. Take a look at this and the chart to see what can go with horses and what can not.

I did a little looking and i am pretty sure its a kenya or colt. They are fine in horse tanks. make good hitches.
What type of filteration are you running?? it wouldnt hurt to run chemi-pur and or carbon just because horses are messy.

Why dont you start a thread in the seahorse forum. We have one person who just added her first horses and one setting up her tank. Be glad to help.

I am running a canister, it is a cascade, I cant remember the number but I do remember it is rated for up to a 60 gal, and I am using carbon.
